Constraint stacking
Layer constraints — word count, reading age, tone, banned phrases, mandatory phrases — to sharpen output.
How it works
Constraints replace endless "make it shorter / warmer" loops with one precise ask.
Example prompt
Write a 90-word summary for a Year 8 reading age. Warm, first-person plural. Must include: "we listen first". Avoid: "unlock", "empower", "leverage".
